Default Corvette brakes??

Hey guys, question for you. Do you guys know if the stock corvette brake calipers fit on a WS6? I mean just bolt on or maybe have to change the rotor but not have to really modify anything else. Thanks for any insight guys. I really appreciate it.

Search is your friend.

If you want to change the calipers and rotors you will need a relocation bracket to sit the caliper outward. If you just want to change the caliper you will need a C5 PAB and Corvette Pads. It will also be a good idea to get Corvette Brake lines in case the F-Body LS1 Brake lines are too short during turns.

the caliper alone is a direct swap but you get nothing by doing this...now if you wanted to add the corvette 12.8" rotor then you would need a relocation bracket

If you put vette calipers on w/out upgrading to larger rotors, you will actually move backward. There is a piston size issue, the vettes will offer less brake pressure than stock f-bodies due to the size issue.
